Typo in java.sun.com, but significant.
javac.html says as -Xmaxerrors but compiler says it as -Xmaxerrs.
Please see the URL
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javac.html
it says
<java.sun.com>
.
.
-Xmaxerrors number
Set the maximum number of errors to print.
..
.
.
</java.sun.com>
But the compiler says
<compiler>
bash-3.00$ /net/sqindia/export/disk09/jdk/1.5.0/rc/b63/binaries/solsparc/bin/javac -X
-Xlint Enable recommended warnings
-Xlint:{all,deprecation,unchecked,fallthrough,path,serial,finally,-deprecation,-unchecked,-fallthrough,-path,-serial,-finally}Enable or disable specific warnings
-Xbootclasspath/p:<path> Prepend to the bootstrap class path
-Xbootclasspath/a:<path> Append to the bootstrap class path
-Xbootclasspath:<path> Override location of bootstrap class files
-Djava.ext.dirs=<dirs> Override location of installed extensions
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=<dirs>Override location of endorsed standards path
-Xmaxerrs <number> Set the maximum number of errors to print
-Xmaxwarns <number> Set the maximum number of warnings to print
-Xstdout <filename> Redirect standard output
These options are non-standard and subject to change without notice.
</compiler>

Although being an easy typo to fix, this was missed in the
recent review by engineering.
